Chapter 206
Shan Jingyan personally held a pot and added tea to Mu Yun's teacup, and said with a smile: "Your idea coincides with me. To be honest, last winter, when I received a few boxes of high-quality leather from Chuzhi, I had thought about it at that time. However, nothing happened in the sea trade business at that time, and I was limited in energy, so I couldn't draw any staff for a while, so I put it aside. As early as when the mansion was not released, I had already taken people to Fenggaojun to guard the local goods. Although it was a little cold and remote, the red ginseng and fur produced, as well as cattle, sheep, horses and some ores were all top-notch good things."
Mu Yun sighed in his heart: Look, no wonder he has such a big ambition. It turns out that he has already made plans.
But after being a human being for two lives, Mu Yun had to have a little vision. After hearing Shan Jingyan's words, she didn't feel depressed, but just smiled and said, "Of course, the vision of the empress is not something we can guess, but apart from the local products in Fenggaojun, the empress has never thought about what is next?"
This time, Shan Jingyan became interested: "Oh, what are you talking about?"
Mu Yun said calmly: "Land! The original Fengge County has experienced several battles and wasted for so many years. I think it is now very prosperous. And the land price must be extremely cheap in such a border area. However, if the news of the imperial court reopening Fengge County is spread, the land price will probably rise several times. Why don't you take this opportunity to buy a piece of land nearby? When the time is ripe, you only need to change hands, which will be several times the profit."
After hearing this, Shan Jingyan's eyebrows moved slightly: "This is also a way, but this kind of thing is just a one-time transaction, and the profits are always limited."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "It's easy to deal with if you want long-term benefits. The empress left a piece of land and built a shop. At that time, the profit will be long-lasting when renting out? If you want to earn more, the empress might as well have someone build high-end restaurants and inns in that area. As long as Fengang County is opened there, not only the capital, but also the great imperial merchants who specialize in maritime trade in the south are probably going to buy red ginseng, marten, cattle, sheep, horses and other things. What these merchants lack the least is silver. Thank you for your hard work. When you see such a good place in Fengang County, who will not be moved?"
Shan Jingyan pondered for a while, then sighed: "What you said is quite easy, but there must be a backend to support such a place. But you have also seen the current situation. I can't make it. I finally got some benefits from the sea trade, but now I have been intercepted. It would be fine if I intercepted me as someone else, but that person is my prince, and I can only knock my teeth and blood to swallow it, and I can't even say a complaint. Otherwise, people will know that I secretly handle such a big business, and I, the princess of Jin, will probably end my head!"
This is the reason why Shan Jingyan can only admit defeat after losing such a big business. If this matter really comes out, I am afraid that the first one who can't spare her will be King Jin.
A princess can also make some money for silk, glass and other businesses, but if she put her hands on the sea trade, it would be a bit unreasonable. After all, a princess could not be short of money to that extent! Therefore, although Shan Jingyan was a little moved by Mu Yun's words, she was full of concerns.
Mu Yun knew Shan Jingyan’s concerns very well, but she was also a little nervous. But she still looked calm and chuckled, "I can naturally understand the Queen's concerns. I heard that the Hai Trade business was intercepted by King Jin because of the internal strife of the Dong family. If the Dong family made such a big mistake, the Queen would not plan to deal with it?"
Hearing this, Shan Jingyan smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly and said, "Forget it, they didn't mean it. Although they lost the Hai Trade business this time, the three houses of the Dong family finally got a separate portal. In this way, it will be more convenient for me to let them do something in the future."
Mu Yun sighed softly: "It is really sad to let the huge family fall apart because of such a small amount of interests. Why don't the Empress tell the third wife of the Dong family to show goodwill to the big wife?"
Shan Jingyan's eyebrows were slightly locked and she looked at her calmly: "What kind of cramped ideas do you have?"
Mu Yun smiled and said, "I dare not deceive the Empress. Although the Sanxinzhai incident did not get any benefits from getting married a family a few days ago. But when I think about it, I was still a little worried. Moreover, the princess who had implicated the matter was frightened. At that time, Master Cheng San looked down on me so much that he would attack me. If I didn't do anything, wouldn't it be disappointing to me? I've inquired that the old lady of the Dong family and the wife of the Dafang were both from the Ma family of the imperial merchant in Jinling. A concubine of Concubine Cheng also married into the Ma family, so now the Ma family is secretly working for the Seventh Prince and Concubine Cheng."
Shan Jingyan nodded: "Yes, you have a good news. What exactly do you want to say after going around this?"
Mu Yun said: "The Queen of Feng's County is naturally not allowed to come forward, so it would be better to let others take the lead. For example, the Queen of Concubine Cheng and the Seventh Prince, as long as the Seventh Prince knows the profit prospects of Feng's County, it is extremely easy to promote this with the Seventh Prince's power in the court. The Seventh Prince can not trust many people, so the Ma family is naturally his first choice, while the Yu Dong family and the Sun family are children and relatives for several lifetimes, and the interests between each other have long been unclear. As long as the Sun family moves, the Dong family can make a quarrel in it. As for how much territory it can occupy from it, it depends on the third master of the Dong family's plan and means!"
After hearing this, Shan Jingyan smiled a few times: "You are really calculating. In this way, even if someone in the court opposes the reopening of Feng'an County, the Seventh Prince will be the first to refuse. Now that Concubine Cheng is pregnant again, even if she is pregnant, the emperor will not argue with the Seventh Prince on this little matter. As long as the emperor agrees to this matter, it will be halfway. You are thinking very thoroughly, but even if everything is as you expected, you have to invest a lot of money in it, right?"
Mu Yun smiled at Shan Jingyan: "Why don't you use this little money to work? This time it's because the third master of the Dong family is not good at doing things. It's because the empress doesn't care about him. If he doesn't even dare to take this little money, how can he gain your trust?"
Hearing this, Shan Jingyan couldn't help but smile: "After talking for a long time, what you gave me is the idea of "making money out of nothing". No matter what this matter is done, I will not lose any loss." Then she said a little unwillingly: "But once this matter is done, will the seventh prince make a fortune every day?"
Mu Yun chuckled: "I heard that the people in the northern border are fierce and bandits often appear. Even the casual officers and soldiers are no match for them. I wonder if the Ma family's fortune will encounter these bandits?"
When talking to smart people, there are some things that need not be said too thoroughly. After Mu Yun clicked here, Shan Jingyan already understood what she meant. Anyway, the people under her also need to be tempered, and this time even the whetstones are complete.
Thinking of this, Shan Jingyan looked at Mu Yun and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I really underestimated you in the past!"
In fact, it is not considered underestimation. The idea of buying land and building a restaurant is completely copied from the practices of some businessmen in their previous lives. As for those who read too much novels and financial news, you can always learn some basics.
Therefore, after hearing Shan Jingyan's words, Mu Yun felt a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, just be stupid. I thought about it for a long time before I thought of such a thing. If I changed to Empress, it would only be more thorough and appropriate."
Shan Jingyan said seriously: "You don't have to underestimate yourself. Just about your vision, you are much better than most men in this world. In the past, I was too clumsy. I don't need to keep such a woman like Zhuge around me, just to be angry with those stinky men. It's better in the future, and if there is something, I will finally have a partner to discuss."
Mu Yun hurriedly bowed and said, "If you have any questions in the future, just send me the emperor. My wife will do her best to do her best!"
...
After leaving the Jin Palace, Mu Yun sat in the carriage, and his thoughts fluttered along with the shaking carriage: She was not sure whether she was going this step today or not. Fighting for the throne was a dangerous road, but now even if the couple wanted to get out, there was no chance, and many people were deeply involved. If this matter is exposed, the whole family would fall into a state of irreparable consequence. But then again, even if she did not interfere, the whole family would not be able to escape.
If she doesn't want to wait for others to settle the score later, she can only face the difficulties. It's not that she doesn't trust Wen Tingzhou, but that's the world, she has to leave a way out for herself and her children. Compared with an optional best friend or a best friend who can give advice, there is no need to say more.
After returning home, Mu Yun saw that the crowds of people coming and going in the northeast corner gate were very lively, and couldn't help but ask, "But the Jin family is back?"
Hearing her words, the car-in-law hurriedly asked the servant who was guarding the door, and after a while he replied, "That's right, the Jin family just entered and the ceremony has not been finished."
Mu Yun nodded, and saw that there was a mess over there, he didn't go there, and went straight back to his room. As soon as she changed into homely clothes, Ni came over with a spring breeze on her face.
Mu Yun hurriedly smiled and said, "Just about to change your clothes and go over and take a look, but you happened to come. Oh, why didn't you see your aunt and cousin come?"
Ni said with a smile: "This boat is exhausted, and my mother is a little tired, so she lie down on the bed when she comes back. Lily is watching the maids install equipment. When she hears that her cousin is back, I will come over and say hello first."
The maid brought the tea, Muyun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "Now lily is promising, it looks like it can be done, and you can also loosen it."
Ni nodded in agreement: "Isn't it? I never thought my sister-in-law could be so good. I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law making jokes. When I first got married, I really felt like a divorced mother-in-law and sister-in-law. If my husband hadn't always been considerate and fair, I would have been unable to hold on. Now, my sister-in-law finally looks like a girl in the boudoir, and she can understand right and wrong. In the future, we can rest assured if she marrys."
Mu Yun echoed, "It's precisely this reason. I saw that Lily is a smart child, but no one took her on the right path before. In the future, if you, your sister-in-law, will she be more outstanding. Speaking of which, I remember that she is not young, what are the plans for this marriage?"
Hearing this, Ni replied, "I never told her to kiss her before, because I don't know where our uncle can go. Now that he has entered Hanlin, he will not move for three to five years. Second, my sister-in-law has also seen her. Lily used to be like that, so it's hard for us to marry her and harm other people's families!"
